Cole Palmer displays another impressive performance in Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Fulham
Cole Palmer continues to make a difference for Chelsea after commanding the club to a 1-0 win against Fulham and taking his goal tally to nine, as he now eclipses last season’s top scorer Kai Havertz’s goal.
In addition to scoring goals, the former Manchester City forward is now also breaking records as per Squawka. He is now the first player aged 21 to record nine goals for Chelsea this season in the Premier League.
What the 21-year-old has done for Chelsea so far this campaign certainly makes him the signing of the season because he has made an instant impact for a club which has been struggling to score goals.
Palmer has not only been our creative force but also our goal scorer, turning around the club’s fate. He’s made an important influence since we brought him on board.
The win against Fulham has now seen the Blues move to eighth position in the Premier League, and now hopes of securing a surprise top-four spot remain possible for the club if they continue to win matches. We should at the very least aim for a top six finish given the upward trend of results of late.
They will next face Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup semi-final after losing the first leg 1-0. However, it’s not a big disadvantage, and given home support, hopefully, the players will work diligently to overturn the deficit.
Palmer will try to make up for his dismal showing against the Cottagers, as he spurned a lot of opportunities in the first leg and had a bad game against Middlesbrough. Mauricio Pochettino will put his fate on him in the game with Boros next week and he will be bubbling with confidence and will hope to turn the game around.

He has been hitting goals nonstop and is only one goal shy of becoming the first Blues player to achieve double digits in the Premier League, which was unattainable the previous campaign. It’s quite remarkable to score nine goals in your first season with a new team. If he keeps up this pace, he should score 20 goals this season—as long as he takes his chances.
